"That Sermon"

Mr.. EDIToR.-Iu the Sentinel issue of the
10th inst, an irresponsible scribe under
the monde plume of "Crispin" processes to
speak for Ent Post, in an unauthorized and
ill-conceived criticism of a sermon deliver
ed by Rev. j. p. Tustin, on Sunday pre-
ceding Memorial day, He was not then,
nor is now the critic for the Post, which is
neither political nor sectarian organiza-
tion seeking the public prints to engage in
an ill-mannered discussion of the labor pro-
blem and strikes or the subject of Chris
tian baptism. These questions are left for
individual discussion aud are excluded
from the list that occupy the attention of
Grand Army men in their respective Ca
pacity, and hence reference is made to
"Crispin's" communication only to deny
all responsibility for its criticisms and fault
finding, begotten as these are in ill-will and
lack of good taste.

Warren McIIenry, OF Cambria, son of
Hon. James McHenry, was stricken very
unfortunately and rather suddenly, with
insanity, a few weeks ago. That one, so
sober and industrious, honest and upright
from childhood, should in carly life be
thus deprived of reason, is indeed great
calamity. Warren was model young
man. This sad afflictlon falls heav-
lily, not only upon the parental, but more
especially his own home-wife and child.
A few years ago he married an estimable
young lady by the name of Shellhart, Of
Danville; and erected model residence in
Cambria, where all else, of social nature,
was inviting, than insanity. The whole
community sympatblze with the afflicted
family. Various opinions exist as to the
cause. There was growing in his upper
lip something he supposed to be OF can
cerous nature, but which surgical opera
ton proved to be only tumor. This is
supposed by many to have wrought upon
his mind and caused insanity.
Corn and oats are looking well, though
grass in many places seems short.
Several mishaps have caused speedy
repair of our bridges. A country like
Benton should begin to build stone bridges

DAVID LowENBRRG.

Opened the portals of Heaven,
Descended the angel OF Death;
With upraised hand
at Heavens command
Robbed this mortal being OF breath.
Point d this Angel upward
And s1ake the Lords decree:
Thy life work is done,
Thy laurels are won,
Come thou to Heaven with me.
And the beating heart vas silenced,
And the soul from its easement fled,
And he, who was dear
To his fellow men here,
Was numbered among the dead.
Fluttered his spirit skyward,
Returned his spirit to God,
And the easement OF clay
Was hidden away
To mould beneath the sod.
Trio kle our tears in unison
With thy loved ones here below;
For our hearts are rent
And our heads are bent
To the yoke meath which all go.
Farewell, thou true, noble spirit,
Farewell, thou corruptible clay;
In natience we wait
Till at Heavens bright gate
We meet on the Judgment day.
In the name of the family of our depar
ed friend, David Lowenberg, the Hebrew
OF this town express their thanks to Il
citizens of Bloomsbury for the great hone
shown to our fellow Hebrew, David Low
enberg.
